Network Card
Bouyed by the success of installing a USB2.0 card into my PC, I've decided to install a network card to get away from using USB for my broadband connection.
I've seen the following listed on Amazon and just wondered whether this would work -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...455830-7235620
On a completely different subject, does the 1gb per day download cap on the 2mb service equate to the total uploaded and downloaded or is there a separate cap for each?
Thanks.

Re: Network Card
Yep, it would, and AFAIK the cap is on downloads only, but if you do upload 24/7 (say, by running a busy website on your connection), NTL will start capping you on uploads as well.

I know-I can read you know. 
I just wanted to make the point, so that this didn't turn into a cap discussion thread.
